Conquer the Highland Beast: The Vampire Dylan Macgregor (Hearts of Darkness) (22 page)

S
he found herself with her arms wrapped around his neck as if this moment were her last. Accepting his open-mouthed, deep tongue-probing kiss like a good hard fuck, she poured all the enthusiasm she could into returning the kiss.

The ache growing at the apex of her thighs spread through her. The emptiness needed filling.
And finally, his other hand cupped her hips and lifted her against him.

With her mound pressed tightly against his raging erection, she eagerly waited for the satisfaction of being filled. He angled her hips up and leveraged her
above him, his long length rubbing against her warm wet opening, fueling the fire inside her. His tongue, still probing her mouth, imitated his cock—thick, hard, and hot—when he pressed inside her.

All thought vanished, replaced by the sensation of having his virile cock pump one long slow thrust inside her until there was no more space to fill, and then he paused.

He lifted his mouth from her lips, and beneath lowered lids, his eyes blazed with a golden light in the dark. His fangs flashed, and Caitlin’s own filled her mouth. She pressed Dylan’s mouth to her breast, desperate to feel the sharp needle-like teeth pierce into her tender flesh. She couldn’t wait to feel the sensation of having him draw her life’s blood from her, but he tilted his neck, offering his to her first.

“You first.”
             

At the sight of his pulse beating beneath the surface of his golden skin, she weakened. The hunger overcame her. “I-I’m afraid I won’t stop.”

Dylan moved deeper. He flexed inside her, once and then again. “Don’t worry, Caitlin. I think I can keep you from draining me.”

She studied him, from his thick thighs to his muscular throat, and across his shoulders, down his chest. The powerfully built man demonstrated he had the power to do whatever was necessary to control her or her vampire nature.

The hunger gnawed at her. The food earlier and the feeding hadn’t been enough. With a gasp, she exhaled and struck, sinking her fangs deep, aiming for the carotid and the richest blood. The scent and his flavor filled her senses with a feeling of euphoria. He bent to her breast and reciprocated without so much as a sting. The tug and pull, the awareness of him feeding while he filled her, brought her close to the brink of orgasm, but it was unlike any she’d ever imagined.

His thoughts, pleasures, feelings whirled inside her as he started moving within her, thrusting harder as they fed from each other and faster with the mounting tension. Sweat poured off them before reaching the point when they knew their climaxes were imminent. It happened simultaneously and came over her like a melding of their bodies as well as their souls.

He opened his mouth and roared like a lion as he spilled his seed inside her. Her channel clenched around him, gripping his cock, and she screamed out his name.

Afterwards, she closed the wound at Dylan’s throat as he did the same to the one on her breast.
But he held her close, caressing her back and continued to suckle on her nipple.

Stroking it with his tongue, he gently drew out the last aftershocks of her orgasm until she could stand no more of the pleasure. “Keep
that up and I’ll want you inside me again.”

He pushed into her, still hard and ready. “I think I can manage accommodating your needs.”

“Again?” She smiled up at him. “I’m never going to get off this roller coaster ride. The experience of oneness, of being whole, is more than I expected.”

“Aye
, for me too. It’s a heady sensation. I think we’ll try it out at least one or two more times to make sure.” He rolled over and flipped her on top of him. “But I think it’s your turn to be on top. I want to see your eyes when you come this time.”

Caitlin stopped combing her wet hair and asked, “How am I going to go back to work?”

“I can’t believe that’s one of your first questions.” Dylan chuckled as he stepped from the shower.

“I’m saving the harder ones for later.” She examined her pale golden eyes in the silver, a mirror shard, the only thing that reflected a vampire’s image. “Someone is bound to notice the difference in me.”

“You can always say ‘love agrees with you’.”

“Yes, that’s true, but it’s something else too.”

Dylan knew what it was. “It’s the eyes.”

He didn’t think that was what they’d notice. She’d been extraordinary as a human female. Even lovely. But now, Caitlin was radiant, her skin almost iridescent. Anyone who’d causally known her before would chalk the subtle changes up to her being happy, but the eye color change and pupil shape would be dead give-aways, since vampire eyes changed with their moods and the light similar to those of a cat’s.

“We’ll arrange for you to have protective contacts. Your eyes will be sensitive to light even if your skin isn’t.”

He was relieved work was her biggest concern. Having already explained about feeding, and the sun, and all her traditional curiosities, he cleared up the widespread fallacies and divulged the little known facts.

With her arms folded, one delicate hand at her lips in contemplation,
deep in thought, she turned to face him. “So, we only need blood once a month, and donors are plentiful. Garlic, crosses, and holy water are okay,” she said, tapping a forefinger against her cheek.

“That’s right.” He wra
pped his arms around her. “Sun isn’t good for a new vampire or a weakened one. Because of Niccolai’s blood, you’ll adapt sooner than most, but you should take precautions.”

She’d been excited to find out she could go sunbathing again, even as soon as next year.
But her biggest concern brought a pout to her lips he wanted to kiss away.

“Dylan, I want to keep working. Will that be a problem? We have to find out what connection
the psychic had with the supernatural world and more about the rest of the rogue group outside New Orleans.”

“There
is a vampire working with the demons, and there are others. That’s why I was working with the local police when they requested your assistance.” He wrapped his arms around her, drawing her tightly against him and nipped her ear. “We’ll find our answers.”

“I love what I do,” she said with a sigh. “I believe I’m needed now more than ever.”

“Of course you are. I need you, now, too.”

He leaned his torso against hers and she laughed, brushing against his erection. “Will we always be this needy for each other?” Her voice sounded husky and her scent smelled interested.

“Yes.” He smiled and kissed her, then added under his breath, “If the gods are willing, I’ll have the stamina to keep up with you.”

Showing a little fang was a sign of arousal, and he was pleased to see her bite her lip with one of her new pointy white fangs extended. “I want you, again.”

“I hope so,” he murmured against her lips, and she closed her eyes melting into him. Running his hands up and down her silky, naked back, he closed his eyes and kissed her. He loved the way she responded.

She straightened up suddenly and h
er eyes popped open, joy filling her expression. “I just thought of something.”

What had he been thinking? W
here had his sexual siren gone?

She pulled away, as far as he’d let her, to stare up at him.
“I could be more of an asset to my job now than I was before.

“Your
asset
s are fine as far as I can determine.”

She giggled. “Get serious. You know what I mean.” Caitlin rolled her eyes. “I’m stronger and faster. My psychic ability is even more
effective than ever. When will my transformation be complete? I keep evolving every day, discovering more abilities.” Her excitement was contagious. “I’ll need to start training—”

“Whoa.”
He got wound up in her enthusiasm, wrapped her up in his arms, and carried her to the bed. “The transformation will probably be complete by next week. It went faster than usual because I carry so much of Niccolai’s blood, but you’ll also find you have abilities others don’t have. If you want to go back to work, I arranged a three-month medical leave so you can adjust and train. They knew how seriously you were injured, so I fixed the records and managed the paperwork.”

“Thank you, Dylan.” She embraced him in a tight squeeze. “I love you so much. All I could think about when I realized I was dying was how unfair fate was. Discovering a love like ours, just to die before fully enjoying each other would have been so unfair.”

“You have no idea how grateful I am to hear you say that.” He’d told no one but Jackson how many rules he’d broken to keep her with him. “So for the next three months, think of me as your instructor.”

“Instructor? Maybe. Better yet, I was thinking, perhaps...sex slave.”

“Okay, that works, too.” He laughed but his groin heated and pulsed. As he nibbled the tender flesh at her neck and moved to her breast, the nipple tightened. “I have all sorts of inventive ideas about pleasing you.” He ran the tip of his tongue over the berried tip.

“O-
ohh, really. How can a girl refuse an offer like that?”

“She shouldn’t.” He wiggled his brows at her and nuzzled her breast.

Her gasp of pleasure followed as she arched into his mouth. “O-kay, then I won’t,” her voice hitched and she moaned, holding his head to her breast as his long blond hair tickled her other nipple.

The suckling paused as
he blew air over her taut nipples. She shivered.

“Caitlin, I did something I shouldn’t have…but it was on
ly because I couldn’t lose you. The world can’t afford to lose you.”

“Well, I wouldn’t go that far.
” She gripped his head in her hands and pulled his mouth to hers.

After the kiss, she looked him in the eye. “I forgive you for turning me. In fact, thank you for turning me.” She kissed him again and whispered into his mouth, “…and now my love,” pulling him
back to her breast, “I think I’m ready for a few new adventures involving pleasure, my slave.”

Dylan willingly obliged, but Caitlin felt too powerful, sexy, too in love. Never having had a decent relationship in the past, made her want to pleasure him with a few tricks of her own.

“Do you mind letting me try a thing or two?”

When he laughed, she pushed him back against the pillow and kissed her way down his torso. Following the faint trail of blond hair leading to his groin where it was thicker and darker, each
touch, each kiss was a sensual journey. Had she ever seen a more beautiful man?

No, she thought not. Not
even close second.

She held his arms at the wrist until she rea
ched her objective. Then he gripped her hair in his hands like reins. He didn’t pull her away. Instead, she felt the pressure of his hands pressing her on.

She kissed his groin where his thigh met his body and nuzz
led his loins while he uttered pleasure-filled groans.

“Go ahead. Let loose. I want to hear you. I want to know what you like without reading your mind.”

She cupped his balls in one hand and pressed her fingers gently behind them. When he gripped her hair harder, his response pressed her on. When she reached his base and inhaled his scent, she noted he smelled slightly musky in a clean, masculine way. Before she touched her lips to his crown, she ran her tongue over the extended ridge, sliding her hand up his shaft, she took him between her lips, guiding his length deep down her throat.

He thickened, hardening, as she teased him with her tongue and her fingers. Dylan held back, remaining completely still as she pumped his length with her hand. He did move when she tongued the ti
ny slit pearling with fluid each time she intermittently took him deep and sucked.

He
finally stopped her. “Enough.”

He flipped her to her
stomach and lifted her hips in the air and separated her ass cheeks for better access. She felt the smile form on her face around the same time his tongue took the first long swipe along her folds, testing her readiness. Then he pressed his hips against hers, rubbed his hard length between her thighs, and pressed his tip inside her.

He squeezed her breasts as he thrust into her and bit down gently
at the base of her neck and shoulder, rhythmically rocking, sucking, and taking pleasure and sustenance. Caitlin didn’t know how she’d ever lived without Dylan and their bond. As the heat increased and their desire became more desperate, the need forced them to pick up the pace. His hips slapped against her ass as she moved into his thrusts, taking him deeper than before.

“Join my mind, Caitlin. Feel what I’m feeling.”

The first touch of his mind forced a powerful climax from her, and they both groaned. Her orgasm set off tremors within her inner walls that stroked Dylan’s shaft.

She felt what he felt.

He felt what she felt.

“My God, I don’t know how much more I can take. I need you to come, Dylan. The pressure is too great. How can you hold off?”

One orgasm followed another, teasing Dylan’s stamina and still he held out. The pressure built with the tingling warning behind his balls. She felt it all and every climax he coaxed from her body as well.
